Update: November 2022
Let’s face it, sometimes men are a lot harder to shop for than women. Perhaps you’re looking for that perfect travel gift for the “guy who has everything” or the “guy who needs nothing.”
With the help of my male friends, I’ve put together the ultimate travel gift list for men so you can get some gift ideas. This year, I’m focusing on more sustainable brands, like United By Blue, and high-quality pieces that they can use for years to come!
Here’s my ultimate travel gift guide for men!
Leather Watch
High-Quality Timepiece
A high-quality watch can last years! This stainless steel, mineral crystal, leather band design is minimal and cool. Plus I love the all-black chic look!

Canvas Passport Case
Herschel RFID Passport Holder
This sleek and slim passport holder is great for the minimalist traveler—it has a passport sleeve and multiple card slots but isn’t too bulky. The fabric is a durable canvas, and it has an RFID blocking layer to help prevent the unwarranted scanning of identification, credit and debit cards.

HERO11 Black Camera
I’ve been a GoPro advocate for years. It truly is the most travel-friendly camera out there and can be used in so many modes. The brand-new HERO10 Black is durable, waterproof, shoots 20MP photos and 5K Ultra HD video, and has the new Hypersmooth 3.0 technology — truly amazing! I always pair it with the 3-Way Mount for taking photos of myself while traveling solo.

The new Mavic Air 2 drone is the ultimate traveler gift! It helps you capture gorgeous, aerial shots with amazing quality. Equipped with a 3-axis gimbal, and HDR Panorama, you’re able to shoot 48MP photos and 4K/60fps Video!

I love my dry bag — it’s so easy to throw things in when I’m heading out for an excursion where I might get wet, when there’s a chance of rain, or even when I’m heading to the beach! With a waterproof backpack, everything stays dry and protected.
